what about a classic rock name? who is left that has not donex it? Clapton? Neil Young? Would they bring back Waters again Monk for The Wall...i have to think not on Waters, as he is doing SO many shows here in LA and OC in Dec that it just would not be special i dont think....would two members of The Who really be The Who?? Could Paul finally score the Talking Heads u think?

and do u think that Eminem could be a potential headliner? he could do Friday like Jay Z did...he is cool , hip, edgy....been touring in the last year and has new material....and if he did do it, do u see Dr Dre doing it with him?

To the people bitching already...First of all. The Beastie Boys are headlining material. They're bigger, better, and beastier than the fucking Gorillaz..no comparison in terms of legacy...and Anon @1:36 is correct...You don't have to watch them. In fact, I probably won't. But if you people want to write off the whole festival because the HEADLINERS don't include Radiohead and Bowie, awesome, because the lower tier acts are gonna be real exciting as always. Who goes to Coachella for the headliners anyway? seriously.

i've been tipped by some sources that the Beastie Boys will headline if and only if the "BIG" acquisition Goldenvoice is trying to woo falls thru.....so all you dumb dumbs settle down.

like its been said go watch someone else if Beasties aren't your cup of tea, btw Coachella doesn/t need super huge headliners to fill to capacity and if the Beastie Boys follow that notion no worries, people will shell out lots of money to be there whether they headline or not.

but I can assure that GV realizes the Beastie Boys decreased popularity, they are shooting for them to be subs, maybe getting a 70-80 min set as respect but GV has something up their sleeve to restore the slight "edge" they lost for getting Jay Z as a headliner

so all you that think they have it all figured out....you don't

how bout you let it unfold and appreciate that whomever the headliners end up being Goldenvoice is going to wreck shit up with a great undercard and "surprise" acts you'll later be telling yourself "oh, gee...why didn't think of that?"

And for the other people who say "who goes to festivals for the headliners?", try 80% of the crowd. It's a big, big deal to finish off each day with a major act. You're kidding yourselves if you doubt that.

If you don't Go for the headliners you still want the day to be a natural progression in quality of acts, musical ability, stage presence, wow factor. My 2 favorite shows last year were LCD and thom yorke and they were better than any band I had seem earlier in the day.

BB are going to be there, I'm not stoked to see them so l head to sahara and dance my brains out and hopefully come back to the mainstage after for Daft Punk. If not I'll trip my balls of get lost for a while and end up on the glow in the dark swings and have the best night of my life. So either way it's a win win.

The list has the typical list anyone that follows and attends Coachella could predict, some new, some old, some...here some others I would expect and hope for: Surfer Blood, Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Suede, Pulp, Strokes, Roxy Music, Drums,

People on this blog are fucked up. Take it easy and enjoy, stop being crazy.

And..... The Killers, are like most knowledgeable music lovers would agree, not of great quality. People who refute this, simply get angry because they feel they are being attacked for the kind of music they adore----> eople, RELAX! no one is attacking you for the music you love, just stating an obvious fact. Would you put the Killers, and let's say for sake of comparison, the Who side by side in genius?

i blame global warming for the beasties headlining!!! :) hehehe jk they are the shit and theyre a way better headliner than the killers, jay z, or jack jackoff... love the list so far though.. keep it coming monk..

im pretty sure a band cant suck when they are headliners, if you are saying that 80% of the crowd sucks than your a minority therefore something is wrong with you when everyone else likes something and you think its the worst band ever. any way your going to end up going if you are reading this blog so why complain just get some updates and if you like it good, if you dont good as well

Every year there is some headliner people bitch about. If people like bitching about the Beastie Boys, let them, because that proves they are ignorant and closed minded. The Beasties are one of THE most important bands of our time. Pioneers of punk, hip-hop and production. They headlined 'Roo a few years back and it was dope as fuck.

I don't know why so many peoe think coachella is not going to get radiohead. Greenwood just said that the new Album is almost done and that they would be doing a large tour in support. Coachella could be the beginning of said tour and then off to Europe and then back for an American leg and play la 3 months later. It makes perfect sense to me. Plus they just had thom yorke, so you don't think they already floated him an offer sheet last year for thr coming year? Supposidly GV actively pursued Blur 2 years ago and who did they get last year, Albarn's Gorillaz. This has been in the works for many many months.

anon 8:46 dont wish for Buffalo Springfield to be there just so you can hear "For What Its Worth" they have alot of other songs that blow that one out of the water, youre obviously a "I saw them so I could say I saw them" person.

what about a classic rock name? who is left that has not donex it? Clapton? Neil Young? Would they bring back Waters again Monk for The Wall...i have to think not on Waters, as he is doing SO many shows here in LA and OC in Dec that it just would not be special i dont think....would two members of The Who really be The Who?? Could Paul finally score the Talking Heads u think?

anon 1:56 Floyd!? FLOYD!? How can you bet on Pink Floyd being there? I will give you $10,000,000 and a blowjob if they play next year. Fun fact: thats the same deal Paul T is gonna have to give the Floyd if they play, $10,000,000 and blowjobs for each. Never gonna happen. NEVER.

I've been seeing Radiohead being thrown around a lot on here. So I will tell you right now. It is very unlikely we will see Radiohead at Coachella. They have been contacted, but they are still working on their album. They have decided to not make any plans about touring until their album is completely done. I'm not going to 100% debunk them as a rumor, but again, it is unlikely.

Bonnaroo is going to get Daft Punk and Radiohead so unless Coachella wants to completely be upstaged this year, they better pull an amazing 3rd night headliner. Arcade Fire and Daft Punk are a great start though.

I really like Arcade Fire and I've watched their live performances on Daily Show and SNL and wasn't overly impressed, are there live shows headliner worthy? Thanks

Weezer will play a double set of the Blue Album and Pinkerton before the three remaining members of Pink Floyd even consider reuniting their legacy of a band for a bunch of spoiled Southern California hipsters.

you ever heard of Gorilla marketing, dumb ass? they are being anonymous to us, not GV. there is no way anyone who actually knows the headliners are going to say them this early. they have to generate interest and buzz first.

*Rolling Stones’ touring plans, but something was then in the process of going down, whether he knew about it (likely) or not. We’ve just learned that the Stones team is very close to finalizing a deal that would bring them to Coachella next April. According to our sources, they’ll pick up a cool $5 million for playing the date; Paul McCartney pocketed $3.5 million for playing Coachella in 2009. This is the biggest booking coup yet for Coachella kingpin Paul Tollett, whose fest has served as a launch pad for numerous big-name tours in the past. Can you say “sold out”?"
